Another week- have I said that before?
They are going way to fast. Today has been very cold, windy and wet. It rained
all night long (I know because I was up). Today we have been out on three
appointments and got stood up by all three of them! Do you think people
are too busy shopping or something???
The same stuff as last week, there isn't a
whole lot going on missionary wise. We make appointments with the
inactive members, but most of the time when we get there, they aren't there and
don't even let us know. Even Alma, our sweet convert who has only been to
church once since her baptism 4 months ago, was a little cold with us because
she said she was so busy. She is always our ray of hope, and usually loves us
no matter what. I guess the whole world feels stressed and pressure this time
of the year!
It is our turn to conduct and get talks this month
for Sunday,but even though we ask people, if they don't want to, they just
don't show up and we have to try to figure out how to get through the meeting.
It pays to always have a talk ready.
Dee has been quite stressful lately. She gets a
bee in her bonnet and won't leave Karl alone until he satisfies her wants. She
only has herself to think about. I feel sorry for her, but she sure likes to
boss, and over the most stupid things. She's got it in her head that we
are all going to the temple site Monday night and sing Christmas songs in front
of the temple and through the streets in downtown Philly. It is really cold and
will probably rain so I can really see us hobbling along with Dee and her
little push cart that has a sign on it saying, WATCH OUT, I'M BLIND
AND HARD OF HEARING. Dad says it is "ME" that gets to walk with her
and listen to her complain the whole time. Maybe we could find her a wheelchair,
but I doubt she would use it.
The weather has changed to cold. I'm getting
out my long pants I wear under my skirt. It sure did help last winter. I bet we
don't know anything compared to you "WALKERS". Have you guys
dug out yet?
This coming week is pretty filled up. Sorry
there wasn't much to report on this last week. We'll let you know if all the
appointments follow through. We had the Christmas devotional broadcast at the
Church. It was really nice, but only two missionaries showed up, so we went
home early and watched in on our computer.
Love to all of you. Hope all of your weeks are
filled and getting a lot accomplished.
THE ARMSTRONG MISSIONARIES
